Put on your swimsuit, flip flops, and grab your sunscreen! Don’t forget your beach towel, bucket, and shovel for some sand! Let’s go on a beach walk!
This week’s Summer Quest Badge is Barnacles and Beaches, and going on a beach walk is a great way to introduce this badge. Earning your badge is easy; all you need to do is come to the library, pick up your Barnacles and Beaches activity bag, and complete the activity! Another way to earn your badge is to complete 3 activities on Beanstack.
Once you complete the activities, come to your closest branch of the Bucks County Free Library and pick up your Barnacles and Beaches badge! Any of our friendly staff members will be happy to help you!
The activity and challenges are only the beginning while exploring our beaches and oceans. Checkout some of our non-fiction shelves from 551.1 – 591.9. Some of these books will be available online at cloudLibrary.
